OK, I totally believe that the Zizzle folks are great at wearing pirate hats, throwing gold coins and pitching to the Disney execs to land the "Pirates" toy deal, because they would have NEVER gotten it based on the quality of their product. Their "Pirates" offerings are hands-down some of the worst sculpts, likenesses and paint jobs I have ever seen. Just check the deluxe Davy Jones or the single carded Pintel. When I want dollar store quality, I’ll call Zizzle.
